CHRISTIE LAUME - CE QU'IL FAIT CHAUD
she couldn't be any more bardot if she tried on this track. you can almost visualise her singing this while rolling around in a bikini on a st tropez beach. you will love this one!

new christie - 2

CHRISTIE LAUME - JE N'AI PAS VOLE CET AMOUR
we have frans to thank for this - another new - and fantastic song from miss laume. with more of a jazzy piano feel than we are used to - yet it still retains a funky vibe.

jeanette in english 3

JEANETTE - A HEART SO WARM AND SO TENDER
the very early 80's were a great period for her- so many of her songs around this time are just great. this is the english language version of her classic 'corazon de poeta'.

JEANETTE - I AM A REBEL
i love jeanette in spanish, i love jeanette in french, i now also love jeanette in english (with the exception of her 'love is blue' cover which is very disappointing). i hope you'll love jeanettes 'soy rebelde' in english too!

SERGE GAINSBOURG - MANON
i'd never been to his grave before - i totally forgot to bring him any gitanes too, but good to pay respect to the man who had so much influence on the many dolls we love. i am posting this song because firstly he is a genius and secondly because i think it is just beautifully sad
